Most people who didn’t have qualifying health coverage in 2014 must either pay a fee or qualify for a “health coverage exemption.”
You may qualify for an exemption if you experienced certain life events, like changes in income, your household size, or health coverage, or if you’re a member of certain groups. If you qualify, you don’t have to pay the fee.
Our new exemption tool can help. You can find:
- Exemptions that may apply to you
- Details to help you decide whether to apply
- Step-by-step instructions on how to apply, with tax forms
